Our lab’s mission is to pursue collaborative, rigorous, reproducible, and accessible science to enhance knowledge of:
- Human movement and its awe-inspiring, dynamic complexity in neurotypical and neuro-divergent individuals
- How the brain contributes to individual differences in sensory and motor engagement and changes during maturation, learning, and experience
- How movement patterns influence an individual’s participation in meaningful activities (i.e., occupations).
